Peer Support

Two people sit at a table having a serious conversation, with one person listening attentively.

Peer support is a powerful approach rooted in shared experience, empathy, and mutual respect. At our center, trained peer supporters—people with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use recovery—walk alongside others on their journey, offering hope, understanding, and connection. This person-centered support helps reduce isolation and empowers individuals to take meaningful steps toward wellness.

Navigation

Our navigation services help individuals connect with the resources and support systems they need to thrive. Whether it's finding treatment options, housing, transportation, healthcare, or employment services, our team is here to listen, guide, and walk with you through the process. We offer personalized, compassionate assistance to help remove barriers and make access to care easier and more manageable.

Led by trained peer facilitators, these groups offer understanding, encouragement, and practical tools in a non-judgmental environment. Whether you're seeking connection, insight, or simply a place to be heard, our support groups are here for you.
